Bouygues Announces Audited Consolidated Earnings Results for the Full Year Ended December 31, 2014; Provides Financial Guidance for 2015 and 2016; Proposes Dividend for 2014

Feb 25 15

Bouygues announced audited consolidated earnings results for the full year ended December 31, 2014. The company announced that full-year results were in line with expectations with sales keeping the 2013 level and adjusted net profit totalling EUR 492 million. Consolidated revenue came in at EUR 33.121 billion sustained by an 8% yearly growth in foreign sales which offset a 4% decline in France. Operating profit, net of the non-recurrent items, was narrowed by EUR 431 million to EUR 888 million. Including non-recurrent items, the group's operating profit came in at EUR 1.133 billion, down by EUR 95 million. The net profit, including one-off gains from the sale of a controlling interest in Eurosport International and of a stake in Cofiroute, totalled EUR 807 million. The group's net debt stood at EUR 3.2 billion as at end-December 2014 versus EUR 4.4 billion a year earlier. Total net capital expenditure was EUR 1,362 million against EUR 1,271 million a year ago. EBITDA was EUR 2,418 million against EUR 2,799 million a year ago.
The company's gross operating profit should remain stable in 2015 and free cash flow will turn positive again in 2016. In addition in 2015, the Group will continue to adapt its business segments and Bouygues Telecom will implement the network sharing agreement with the Numericable-SFR group, which will result in a write-down of assets. This could generate non-current charges of around EUR 200 million, which will affect the Group's operating profit in 2015.
The board of directors will propose to the shareholders' meeting on April 23 distribution of a dividend of EUR 1.60 per share, in line with the dividend paid for 2013.
